Her Lullaby 04:55
Angel heart How are you coping love To lose someone so dear to you Cannot comprehend what I would do Brave faced and strong enough I've Prayed to the Lord above Said he'll give you just what you need Send you a lullaby so you can sleep For tonight Sleep off your sorrow and let pain subside For tonight We'll put to rest the things we want to leave behind For tonight The things of yesterday are no longer in sight Oh tonight Broken, youthful fears I know that you're hurting dear To lose someone your life always knew I can't imagine what you're going through Tonight Bury your sorrow let it fade in time Oh tonight Your thoughts of yesterday they haunt all that you hide Oh tonight Stoic warrior of the battle that you fight Oh tonight When facing times like this It's hard to find the words to say So that the ones who love you most know How you're coping day to day Don't fear the process of the pain Give heed to thoughts of disarray When these occur don't be afraid I'll sing to you a lullaby For tonight you'll sleep okay Fears you know not Therefore sleep While over you a watch I'll keep Sleep pretty darling Do not cry I will sing you a lullaby

Wolf Cry 04:58
Lead the call to reign this in I’m howling now Brace myself for the cold, harsh wind This savage need has found The prey to feed its charge A mighty beast with a fearful heart Did you not hear my sound Hear crying out Lead the call to bring us back again I’m howling now Reverberates my fragile state within Fuels anxiety and doubt Exposed and reticent Urged by instinctive scent Could you not hear my sound Hear my crying out Afraid of what my culminate But brazened by the odds at stake I cry out Because I just can’t take it anymore Wrestling these thoughts you had me caught up in a game of, Chasing tails Round a track I’ve learnt so well Lead the call to reign this in I’m howling now The wounded pleas of a helpless friend No surety of how We can now co-exist A pack of false pretence Could you not hear my sound Hear my crying out Afraid of what my culminate But brazened by the odds at stake I cry out Because I just can’t take it anymore Wrestling these thoughts you had me caught up in a game of, Chasing tails Round a track I’ve learnt so well Fight the need to speak the truth and savour what I have of you I don’t know, But I just can’t take it anymore, Wrestling these thoughts you had me caught up in a game of Chasing tails Round a track I’ve learnt so well So well…

Roving 03:55
No bounds Don't you know what's here is yours Pace this ground until the soles of your feet are worn beyond the gaze of your eye Lies a portion of land for you to explore Thrown off by the wind The ones who say you'll never win And you fall down The shots ring out No end Don't you know there's more to come Bear the weight of each others work for there's more to be done Beyond the gaze of your eye There's a portion of land for you to explore Thrown off by the wind The ones who barricade us in And we fall down The shots ring out The shots ring out Deaf to their sound They rove Wandering round Treading on ground They've been shown To explore But we're thrown off by the wind The ones who say we'll never win And we fall down The shots ring out The shots ring out...

Flume 04:19
I am my mother's only one It's enough I wear my garment so it shows Now you know Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon I am my mother on the wall, with us all I move in water, shore to shore; Nothing's more Only love is all maroon Lapping lakes like leary loons Leaving rope burns Reddish rouge Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon
